DNQ. Jason Bright (Californian Racing Association) 2:02.606

So not much here with Jason Bright struggling without his top gear and could only muster up a time of 2:02.606. But other then that, there weren't many surprises in the DNQ's

I know Hakkinen had spent 3 years out of the sport, but he was still alright in DTM in 2005...

[Rabbi Gordon]

We are delighted to have Roberto qualify the brand new Accord as the only Honda on the track.
We believe he could have qualified in the top 10, had he not forgotten a slice of Neapolitan pizza in his car, the smell kept him distracted and in Lesmo, wondering about the opening hours of Gino's Pizzeria in Brianza, he slid way up the track losing precious time.

I know Hakkinen had spent 3 years out of the sport, but he was still alright in DTM in 2005...

In fact in 2005 he was fifth in the DTM standings. Any top 10 DTM driver should roflstomp the WTCC field on any given year.

Er... Farfus's example says that this might be a bit far-fetched.
Although I do agree that Mika is easily better than DTCC Nykjaer or Carl Breeze.

[Dom_Wings]

Shedden 28th? Jeez. And I thought BTCC and WTCC are about comparable to each other. (but wait, he competed from 2006 onwards! not counting 2001.)

True thing that he did not have the Monza experience tho

Perhaps you should've tried Matt Neal?

Decent result. Are the grid rules the same as real WTCC?

2nd! Unrejectified! =D

Also, you've made an error about the teams championship. I believe that my team is on 8 points, not 11.
I'm pretty sure that the extra points that you gave my team belong to Chevrolet RML, by the way

Its 11 because of the 2nd place in Race 2 and a 5th in Race 1. If you don't believe me here is the race 1 of the top 9 result

1. GR Asia - 10
2. Alfa Romeo - 8
3. Alfa Romeo (Cancelled)
4. GR Asia (Cancelled)
5. BMW Team Germany - 6
6. BMW Team Germany (Cancelled)
7. BMW Team UK - 5
8. SEAT Repsol - 4
9. SEAT Sport - 3
